Abstract

A network line plug and network line, and more particularly to a network line plug, network line plug assembly and network line; the network line plug of the present invention comprises of a short-head main body, rubber core and eight welded terminals; the rubber core is fixed into the short-head main body; said welded terminals are inserted into the rubber core; the first and second ends of said welded terminal are an electrical contact portion and welding portion, respectively; the welding portions of the welded terminal penetrate selectively the through-holes of the rubber core; the welding portions of two welded terminals corresponding to the same core pair are arranged adjacent to one another.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A network line plug assembly, comprising a short-head main body and a rubber core; eight slots are arranged in parallel at the lower surface of said short-head main body; eight slots are arranged in parallel at the lower surface of said short-head main body for insertion of the electrical contact within a female socket; the rubber core is fixed into the short-head main body; it is characterized by that: eight welded terminals are aligned separately with eight core wires of a network cable; said welded terminals are inserted into the rubber core; the first ends of the welded terminals are electrical contact portions, which are arranged in a line and used for electrical connection between the welded terminals and electrical contacts within the female socket; the second ends of the welded terminals are welding portions, which are used to weld separately eight core wires of the network cable onto the corresponding welding portions of the welded terminals;
 said rubber core is provided with through-holes for the welding portion of the welded terminal; the through-holes penetrate the front and rear surfaces of the rubber core, while the welding portions of two welded terminals corresponding to the same core pair are arranged adjacent to one another. 
 
     
     
       2. The network line plug assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said through-holes are arranged longitudinally in two lines, and also transversely in four rows;
 after penetrating the through-hole of the rubber core, the welding portions of said welded terminal are arranged at the rear end of the rubber core in such a manner that eight core wires of the network cable can be arranged in parallel, and the twisted structure of the network cable can be welded in pair onto the welding portions of the welded terminal; the welding portions of said welded terminal are arranged in two lines and four rows; 
 the welding portion of any welded terminal set on the rubber core can penetrate selectively the through-holes of the rubber core at upper or lower lines. 
 
     
     
       3. The network line plug assembly as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said welded terminal is of “C”-shaped pattern, of which the electrical contact portion and welding portion are arranged in parallel, and the welding portion is provided with a folding portion at the center of welded terminal staggered horizontally in relation to the electrical contact portion. 
     
     
       4. The network line plug assembly as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein holding grooves are set on the lower surface of said rubber core correspondingly to the eight slots on said short-head main body; the electrical contact portion of said welded terminal is accommodated in the holding groove;
 front holding grooves are set on the front surface of said rubber core correspondingly to the holding grooves at lower surface of the rubber core, and used for insertion of the center of the welded terminal; the front holding grooves are connected with the corresponding holding grooves; 
 said front holding grooves are connected with the corresponding through-holes. 
 
     
     
       5. The network line plug assembly as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the front holding grooves arranged from left to right at front surface of said rubber core comprise: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth front holding grooves; the bottom of the first front holding groove is connected with the bottom of the second front holding groove; the center and bottom of the third front holding groove are separately connected with the center and bottom of the fourth front holding groove; the center and bottom of the fifth front holding groove are separately connected with the center and bottom of the sixth front holding groove; the bottom of the seventh front holding groove is connected with the bottom of the eighth front holding groove. 
     
     
       6. The network line plug assembly as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said network line plug further comprising an internal and an external metal casings; the front surface of said internal metal casing is sleeved externally onto the rubber core; the rear end of said internal metal casing is provided with a tail fin that enables users to fix the network cable onto the internal metal casing by means of riveting; said internal metal casing is mounted securely into said short-head main body;
 the front surface of said external metal casing is fixed onto said short-head main body, and said external metal casing is connected with the rear end of said short-head main body; 
 the electrical contact portion of said welded terminal is extended into the slot or otherwise externally onto one of the eight slots in parallel; 
 the upper surface of said short-head main body is provided with a resilient strip, both sides of which are separately profiled into hooks that can prevent disengagement of the network line plug from the female socket. 
 
     
     
       7. The network line plug assembly as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said two network line plugs connected separately with the first and second ends of the network cable; of which the network line plug connected with the first end of the network cable is a primary plug, and that connected with the second end of the network cable is a secondary plug;
 the welding portions of two welded terminals in the primary plug for connection with any pair of core wires of the network cable are arranged vertically in alignment with the welding portions of two welded terminals in the secondary plug. 
 
     
     
       8. The network line plug assembly as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the welding portions of welded terminals in the primary plug for connection with any pair of core wires of the network cable penetrate the through-holes at the upper line; the welding portions of welded terminals in the secondary plug for connection with any pair of core wires of the network cable penetrate the through-holes at the lower line in the same row. 
     
     
       9. The network line plug assembly as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein according to the electrical contact portion, eight welded terminals arranged from left to right on said primary plug comprise: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth terminals; of which, the welding portions of the second, fourth, fifth and seventh terminals of the primary plug penetrate from left to right the through-holes at the upper line, whilst the welding portions of the first, third, sixth and eighth terminals of the primary plug penetrate from left to right the through-holes at the lower line;
 the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth terminals of said primary plug are connected with the orange white, orange, green white, blue, blue white, green, brown white and brown core wires, respectively, at the first end of the network cable; 
 according to the electrical contact portion, eight welded terminals arranged from left to right on said secondary plug comprise: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth terminals; of which, the welding portions of the second, third, sixth and seventh terminals of the secondary plug penetrate from left to right the through-holes at upper line, whilst the welding portions of the first, fourth, fifth and eighth terminals of the secondary plug penetrate from left to right the through-holes at lower line; 
 the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth terminals of said secondary plug are connected with the orange white, orange, green white, blue, blue white, green, brown white and brown core wires, respectively, at the second end of the network cable.
